Carved Skateboard Art Opening, DJ & Live Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Amor Eterno Arte presents the opening reception of Dosayan with artwork by Luis Marroquin from 7-11 pm on Saturday August 9, 2014.

Luis Marroquin presents a body of work of carved skateboards and their physical prints. These intricately carved skateboards transcend into another life. Inspired by the energy that surrounds us, Luis explores natural, ancestral, and human images. Luis is an essential catalyst in the East Bay and SF communities. Not only is an artist, Luis is a voice and organizer for the real need that affect children and elders. Dosayan, a prayer for peace and unity, flows through Luis’ work. Precious stones and mementos inset in each skateboard where chosen from a lifetime of experiences with family, the community and artist friends sharing their creativity. Luis explores balance and what that means to us surrounded by the injustices of our consumerism drowned society.

Music by:

• East Bay’s Astralogik – singer-songwriter, Charito Soriano, and Guitarist, Rowenalyn “FunkCH3N” Conlu
• DJ Ollin from Libre Cltra is back again and will be providing music to dance including cumbia and mashups

The opening reception on August 9th will host a raffle for Mission Graduates, a nonprofit organization that increases the number of K-12 students in San Francisco’s Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college education. The raffle will feature a original carved skateboard and prints by Luis Marroquin, and a gift certificate for tattoo time with Chamuco.
